Day by day plan
- Step 1
Choose your trip this week
If you are reading this in October, start now. Pick a destination from the table and decide your dates. Peak weeks run from 20 December to 3 January and fares rise each week as seats sell. Send us your dates, the number of travellers and your budget on WhatsApp. December holiday packages from Nairobi abroad sell out from the middle of November.
- Step 2
Get a written quote and pay the deposit
We check flights and hotels and send a dated quote. Pay a deposit by Mpesa, bank transfer or card to hold your seats and rooms. The sooner you pay, the better the fare and room we can hold. We start the visa file after the deposit.
- Step 3
Visa and documents in October and November
Send your passport and photos. Dubai takes a few working days, but Turkey and some other visas take weeks. Check that your passport has six months of validity. Late visas are the most common reason a December trip falls apart.
- Step 4
Pay the balance by early December
Clear the balance in instalments before the final due date in your quote. Airlines issue tickets on their own deadlines. Pay on time to avoid fare changes. We send your tickets and vouchers once everything is paid.
- Step 5
Travel in the peak weeks
Arrive at JKIA three hours before an international flight, because December queues are long. A driver meets you at the other end. Our team stays reachable if a flight changes. Enjoy the sun and send us a photo.

How Much Are December Holiday Packages from Nairobi Abroad?
In the peak weeks our guide prices run about 15 to 30 percent above normal dates. Zanzibar rises from KES 65,000 to KES 85,000. Dubai rises from KES 99,000 to KES 119,000. Singapore rises from KES 188,000 to KES 216,000. December holiday packages from Nairobi abroad are priced for normal and peak weeks.
The rise comes from flights and hotels, not from our margin. Airlines sell out and hotels cut deals. December holiday packages from Nairobi abroad cost less when you travel in the first or last week of the month, outside the peak weeks.
Single travellers add a supplement on top. Two people sharing a twin room get the best rate. Ask us for a quote that shows both the normal and the peak week price for your dates.

Hotel Tiers and Minimum Stays in December
All tiers include breakfast. In the peak weeks, many hotels set a minimum stay of four or five nights and add a compulsory gala dinner on 24 and 31 December. A gala dinner can cost USD 100 to 300 per person. We show it in your quote before you pay.
A 3 star hotel keeps the price low. A 4 star adds space and a better pool and a 5 star adds a beach or a view. December holiday packages from Nairobi abroad sell the best rooms first, so book early if you want a view.
Peak Dates and Kenyan School Holidays
Kenyan school holidays usually start in late November and run to early January. Check your own term dates with the school. Christmas Day falls on a Friday in 2026, so the weekend of 25 to 27 December is a natural long break.

New Year Abroad: Where to Watch the Fireworks
Dubai fires rockets from the Burj Khalifa and the crowds are huge, so book a hotel with a view or a dinner that includes a terrace. Singapore holds a countdown at Marina Bay. Bangkok lights up along the river. Cape Town celebrates at the Waterfront.
Zanzibar and Mauritius are quieter. You get beach parties and fire dancers instead of fireworks. Pick the mood you want. We build December holiday packages from Nairobi abroad around your New Year plan. December holiday packages from Nairobi abroad need this lead time.

Visa Lead Times for a December Trip

Dubai needs a visa that takes a few working days. Egypt needs a visa step too. Turkey can need an embassy visit and several weeks. Many families book December holiday packages from Nairobi abroad as a gift for the whole year.
Pack for the weather at the other end, with a warm layer for Dubai evenings and light clothes for Zanzibar. Book child seats and ask about baby cots early, because December rooms are limited.
- Start the visa file within a week of paying the deposit
- Check passport validity of six months and blank pages
- A yellow fever certificate may be asked for on arrival from Kenya
- Allow extra time for December, when embassies and agents are busy
- Never buy tickets before the entry rule is confirmed
Family Travel in December
Families should choose hotels with kids clubs and a shallow pool. Ask for connected rooms. Dubai, Zanzibar and Mauritius are easy with children because the flights are short and resorts handle meals. Long Asia flights need patience and snacks.
